INTRODUCTION
1.1 BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY
The
responsibility of training a child always lies in the hand of the parents. This

instrument of cultural change which is being taught from home is relevant for
this discuss. It is not out of place to imagine that parent socio-economic have
possible effect on the academic achievement of pupils in pre-primary school.
Whatsoever affect the development environment of pupils would possibly affect
their education or disposition to it. Parental status
is one of
such variables, when a woman’s nutritional status improves so too does the nutrition of her young pupils (Lisa
et al 2003) Rothestein has asserted as follows: parent of different occupation
classes often have different styles of
child rearing, different ways of discipline their children and different ways of reacting to the children.
These differences do not express
themselves consistently as expected in the case of every family; rather they
effect the average tendencies of families for different occupation classes
(Rothestin 2004).
In line with
above assertion, Hill et al (2004) had also argued that socio-economic status
of parents do not only affect the academic achievement, but also makes it
possible for pupils from low academic to compete well with their counterparts
from high socio-economic academic under the same academic environment.
Moreover, Smith, Fagan and Vivund (2002) had asserted that significant
predictator of intellectual achievement at age of 8 years included parental
socio-economic status.

economic status and host of other factors relating to home environment of
pupils as education background of parents, health status of pupils, parental occupation and family size could affect the pupils academic achievement.
Socio-economic status can be defined as a person’s overall social position to
which attainment in both. The social and economic domain contribute. (Ainley
et. al., 1995).

status is determined by individual achievement in education, employment,
occupational status, income and wealth. Several parents may provide higher
levels of psychological support for their children through environment that
encourage the development of skills necessary for success at school (Williams
et al 1980, William 1987, Williams 1993).

status is commonly conceptualized as the social standing or class of an
individual or group. It is often measured as a combination of education, income
and occupation. Examination of socio-economic status often reveal inequalities
in access to resources, plus issues related to privilege, power and control.
